It would be D because there is more gravitational forces acting on it than a small block of wood

If the objects are all at the same distance from the center
of the Earth, then the gravitational forces between the Earth
and each object only depend on the mass of each object. 
Those forces are least for the 5kg object, and greatest for
the 2,540kg object. 

The gravitational force that attracts each object toward the
center of the Earth is typically referred to as the object's "weight".

It's important to know that there's another force of gravity ... the one
that attracts the Earth toward the object.  And that one is equal to
the object's weight, but pulls in the opposite direction.

Your weight on the Earth is equal to the Earth's weight on you.

The period of a simple pendulum in a grandfather clock on another planet is 1.80 s. What is the acceleration due to gravity (in
weeeeeb [17]

Answer:

12.17 m/s²

Explanation:

The formula of period of a simple pendulum is given as,

T = 2π√(L/g)........................ Equation 1

Where T = period of the simple pendulum, L = length of the simple pendulum, g = acceleration due to gravity of the planet. π = pie

making g the subject of the equation,

g = 4π²L/T²................... Equation 2

Given: T = 1.8 s, l = 1.00 m

Constant: π = 3.14

Substitute into equation 2

g = (4×3.14²×1)/1.8²

g = 12.17 m/s²

Hence the acceleration due to gravity of the planet = 12.17 m/s²

Explain why a black and white aeronautical map would be difficult to use
Aneli [31]

Aeronautical maps are usually meant to be used by pilots and air aviation professionals in other to navigate or traverse though the sky. With various elements such as vegetation, hills, valleys being depicted by color coded keys or legend. Hence, the absence of color on an aeronautical map make the <em>representation of elements very difficult</em>.

Visual map interpretation is usually aided by the use of legends. The legend hold the key to the elements which are represented on the map. Usually, a combination of colors and shapes makes up the legend and makes map interpretation easy.

Therefore, the absence of various color palletes for representation on a black and white aeronautical map will make it difficult to use.
